"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Hmmm... I thought you were of the opinion that these were all just fads.

Formula One racing goes hybrid

Despite having lost nearly half their downforce, the cars are already lapping a half second per lap faster than they did last year.

And THIS is what I love about hybrids - every innovation that comes along, there's someone out there going, "How can we use this for racing?"

Yup - I like the "push to pass" button. Very cool. Very useful. Push a button, get a short burst of 80 extra horsepower - and it regenerates without burning more fuel!

The "On Fire" Economy -
The Dow closed at 10,587.60 on January 20, 2001, the day GW Bush took office. Eight years later, it closed below 8000 on the day he left office - a net loss of 25%. That's what conservatives call an economic "success".
